Finally! Some new stuff. People and places

I can't say that I've been very efficient. as a matter of fact it seems to take three hours of futzing around (And maybe another hour or two fooling around with email etc) to every hour of productive work in the studio. But I've got a deadline, well, several, but the main one is my upcoming solo show at the gallery, with opening reception June 10. Mark your calendars, everyone! I'm gonna feel bad if you don't come!
So, here are two more collaged, stiched and quilted fabric portraits. One is of John Steinbeck, whose writing (and politics) I hugely admire. It's called "Man of Letters" and was done for our Textile Abstractions group's challenge this month "Letter."












The other is called "Petting Zoo," using two of my favorite models, one of my sons with one of his daughters.

It's better to see them in person, 

of course, so Come to the show...

Still painting, as well. This oil painting is called "Guilfoss," as that is the name of this incredible waterfall in Iceland











and a preview of the next portrait, loaded here on the longarm, ready for quilting when I can get back to the serenity of the studio

Now to work on the postcards for our latest IJQ swap,
And another painting.
And another 6 or so quilts boefore I have enough to even consider filling that huge gallery space.
You know where to find me.
